A Note from the Editors:
ILW.COM has made changes to the home page. We have organized the
"immigrants and employers" section under three major headings: Ask a question, Search for information, and Get
immigration help. ILW.COM has a wealth of immigration resources. We hope these changes will allow you to take
full advantage of what we have to offer. Comments and suggestions are welcomed
at editor@ilw.com.

| Letter To The Editor |
Dear Editor,
I currently am engaged as an Immigration Legal Assistant in a large Law Firm in
Pittsburgh. How I arrived in this position is probably fairly typical of those from abroad who enter the United States innocently and then become enmeshed in the snare of the Act.
I left Northern Ireland in 1981 after the death of my spouse to visit the United States on vacation.
After a couple of months in the U.S. I was assured by well intentioned friends and relatives that I could simply 'stay' in America and equally simply file for and obtain a Green Card, and everything would be 'just wonderful'.
As you can imagine it was not quite that simple.
.…..More
Thanks.
Patrick J. Corr
